World's Biggest St. Patrick's Day Celebrations. February 24, 2015 at 11:00:00 AM EST | Post a Comment. Regardless of your actual heritage, everyone's a little bit Irish during the month of March. That might help explain why elaborate St. Patrick's Day celebrations can be found across the globe every year. Outside of Ireland, some of the biggest March 17 events are held in the U.S., but all of these cities host parades, festivals, and plenty of Irish dancing. Throw on some green and get ready to party at the worldâs biggest St. Patrickâs Day celebrations. Erin go Bragh! By Annie Bruce.

It consisted of Irish soldiers serving in the English army and took place in New York City on March 17, 1762.ost countries with a large Irish immigrant population celebrate St Paddy's, especially America (where the parade form of celebration originated) and Australia (which has a large Irish descendent population due to factors such as the penal colony past).
